Robust regulatory interplay of enhancers, facilitators, and promoters in a native chromatin context [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Enhancers are gene-distal cis-regulatory elements that drive cell type-specific gene expression. While significant progress has been made in identifying enhancers and characterizing their epigenomic features, much less effort has been devoted to elucidating mechanistic interactions among clusters of functionally linked regulatory elements within their endogenous chromatin contexts. Here, we developed a novel recombinase-mediated genome rewriting platform and applied our divergent transcription architectural model to understand how a long-range human enhancer confers a remarkable 10,000-fold activation to its target gene, NMU, at its native locus. Our systematic dissection reveals transcription factor synergy at this enhancer and highlights the interplay between a divergently transcribed core enhancer unit and emerging new types of cis-regulatory elements—notably, intrinsically inactive facilitators that augment and buffer core enhancer activity, and an adjacent retroviral long terminal repeat promoter that represses enhancer activity. We discuss the broader implications of our focused study on enhancer mechanisms and regulation genome-wide.

Super-enhancers require enhancers and facilitators to fully activate gene expression [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Super-enhancers are compound regulatory elements which control expression of key cell-identity genes. They recruit high levels of tissue-specific transcription factors, co-activators such as the mediator complex, and they contact their target gene promoters with high frequency. Most super-enhancers contain multiple constituent regulatory elements, but it is unclear whether these elements have distinct roles in activating expression of their cognate genes. Here, through comprehensively rebuilding the endogenous α-globin super-enhancer, we show that super-enhancers comprise bioinformatically equivalent but functionally distinct element types: classical enhancers and facilitator elements. Facilitators have no intrinsic enhancer activity, yet in their absence, classical enhancers are unable to fully up-regulate their target genes. Without facilitators, classical enhancers exhibit reduced mediator recruitment, enhancer RNA transcription and enhancer-promoter interactions. Facilitators are interchangeable, but display functional hierarchy based on their position within a super-enhancer. Facilitators thus play an important role in potentiating super-enhancer activity and ensuring robust activation of target genes.

Dissection of thousands of cell type-specific enhancers identifies dinucleotide repeat motifs as general enhancer features

Project description:Gene expression is determined by genomic elements called enhancers, which contain short motifs bound by different transcription factors (TFs). However, how enhancer sequences and TF motifs relate to enhancer activity is unknown and general sequence requirements for enhancers or comprehensive sets of important enhancer sequence elements have remained elusive. Here, we computationally dissect thousands of functional enhancer sequences from three different Drosophila cell lines. We find that the enhancers display distinct cis-regulatory sequence signatures, which are predictive of the enhancersM-bM-^@M-^Y cell type-specific or broad activities. These signatures contain transcription factor motifs and a novel class of enhancer sequence elements, dinucleotide repeat motifs (DRMs). DRMs are highly enriched in enhancers, particularly in enhancers that are broadly active across different cell types. We experimentally validate the importance of the identified TF motifs and DRMs for enhancer function and show that they can be sufficient to create an active enhancer de novo from non-functional sequence. The function of DRMs as a novel class of general enhancer features that are also enriched in human regulatory regions might explain their implication in several diseases and provides important insights into gene regulation. STARR-seq was performed in BG3 cells with paired-end sequencing in two replicates and respective inputs.
